Thanks Trevor - I've located the embedded server zip file and read the
instructions and it still doesn't work, but I'll get there. I'm sure
it's just a matter of having the right file(s) in the right place.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Phil.<br>

<pre wrap="">You can replace gds32.dll with fbembed.dll (as long as you rename it of
course), then you have the benefits of a normal client library *AND* and
fully functional server for *local* databases. I'm sure that ibphoenix.com
has some further instructions, but AFAIKR that's all you need.

Damn, I was afraid of that. Is there a way to embed it inside another
installer? What are the issues with user rights?

Out test machine is complaining about "unavailable database" when I try
to connect to a local firebird file. I had a read of the firebird
"Quickstart Guide" which mentioned I needed two files, gds32.dll and
fb32.dll for a client install - I can only find the first one on my
machine. Am I missing something here? The client machine doesn't need to
connect to a server - just a local file. Do I still have to install a
firebird server as a service on the client machine to connect to a local
file? I *am* missing aren't I?
Phil.
